As the housing affordability gap widens, middle-income families are especially hard-hit, and these families can no longer qualify to buy homes, and rising rental rates force them to use far more than the standard 25 percent of their incomes for housing, leaving them with no equity or tax write-offs to offset the expenditures.

The White House, meanwhile, has set up its own interagency panel that would look at how to protect consumers while also make United States companies more competitive internationally.
A. that would look at how to protect consumers while also make B. that will look at the protection of consumers while also making C. for looking at how to protect consumers while also making D. that will look at how to protect consumers while also making E. for looking at protecting consumers and also making
Pls. explain the solution.
Could anyone please let me know that isn't the parallelism is tested in the question ?

i think answer will be e.. the reason that these families can not qualify to buy home is because they use the standard 25 percent of their incomes meant for housing savings.. which is only conveyed by e . correct me if wrong

A. that would look at how to protect consumers while also make B. that will look at the protection of consumers while also making C. for looking at how to protect consumers while also making D. that will look at how to protect consumers while also making E. for looking at protecting consumers and also making
Option A seems to be the correct answer !
Yes parrallelism is very much tested and A and E seems to be the nearest..but E don't fits to the essence of the sentence.

the correct answer can not be A.. because we can not use would ( i.e a subjunctive form) it has to be will and D maintains parallelism.. hence answer is D
Correct me if I am wrong. If the parallelism is tested, then look & make should be parallel. But in option D they are not.

One more similar doubt:
When do we use 'Compare to' and 'Compare with' ? I read in 'Spidey GMAT' notes that 'To' is used to compare unlike things and 'With' is used to compare like things. Is there any other context when we use these two? Share your views!

sorry i said it a little wrong..
Do not assume that all verb and verbal forms must be parallel.. some times we need to keep it that way.. in this sentence -ing form is used to provide additional information hence it "should not be parallel" with 'look'.. if it were.. then that would lay equal emphasis on both the sentences ..and that would distort the meaning of it..
ok lemme quote an example from manhattan Sc . it will clear ur doubts
